Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.540 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Accelerated vs Standard BEP Chemotherapy for Patients With Intermediate and Poor-risk Metastatic Germ Cell Tumours Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine whether accelerated BEP chemotherapy is more effective than standard BEP chemotherapy in males with intermediate and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumours. ALEX Study: A Randomized, Phase III Study Comparing Alectinib with Crizotinib in Treatment-Naive Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-Positive Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. This randomized, active controlled, multicenter Phase III open-label study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of alectinib compared with critozinib treatment in patients with treatment-naive ALK-positive advanced NSCLC. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either alectinib, 600 mg orally twice daily (BID), or critozinib, 250 mg orally BID. Patients will receive treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal or death occurs. The study is expected to last approximately 42 months. A Registry for Children Treated with Proton Radiation Therapy Rochester, Minn. The purpose of the Pediatric Proton Consortium Registry (PPCR) is to enroll children who have been treated with proton radiation in the United States in order to describe the population that currently receives protons and better evaluate its benefits over other therapies. The data collected from this study will help facilitate research on proton beam radiation therapy and allow for collaborative research. The PPCR will collect demographic and clinical data which many centers that deliver proton radiation therapy already collect in routine operations. Short Course Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Patients With Glioblastoma, SAGA Study Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferior 12-month overall survival of patients with GlioblastomA (GBM) treated with dose escalated hypofractionated radiotherapy compared to standard of care. Also, to demonstrate the safety and favorable quality of life via physician-reported G3+ toxicitycompare if SBRT is non-inferior to standard of care on the proportion of overall survival of patients with glioblastoma 12 months after randomization. Cholecalciferol in Improving Survival in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Cancer With Vitamin D Insufficiency Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. This partially randomized clinical trial studies cholecalciferol in improving survival in patients with newly diagnosed cancer with vitamin D insufficiency. Vitamin D replacement may improve tumor response and survival and delay time to treatment in patients with cancer who are vitamin D insufficient. Dabrafenib Combined With Trametinib After Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly-Diagnosed High-Grade Glioma Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to estimate the event-free survival (EFS) distribution for newly-diagnosed patients with BRAFV600-mutant high-grade glioma (HGG) without H3 K27M mutations excluding anaplastic pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (aPXA) and anaplastic ganglioglioma (aGG) treated with radiation therapy followed by a maintenance combination of dabrafenib and trametinib and to compare this EFS to contemporary historical controls. Phase 2 Trial of Voyager V1 in Combination With Cemiplimab in Cancer Patients Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to determine the preliminary anti-tumor activity and confirm the safety of VV1 in combination with Cemiplimab. The study will concurrently enroll patients with four distinct advanced malignancies in 5 separate tumor cohorts. The four cancer types are: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and melanoma that are progressing on checkpoint inhibitor (CPI, generally refers to anti-PD(L)1 antibodies) treatment, CPI-naïve hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and treatment-naïve endometrioid endometrial cancer. A Study to Evaluate the Addition of Immunotherapy into Adjuvant Therapy for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Rochester, Minn. This phase III ALCHEMIST trial compares the addition of pembrolizumab to usual chemotherapy versus usual chemotherapy for the treatment of stage IB, II, or IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, pemetrexed, carboplatin, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. The purpose of this trial is to find out if the addition of pembrolizumab to usual chemotherapy is better or worse than usual chemotherapy alone for non-small cell lung cancer. MMRF Molecular Profiling Protocol Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla. Here we propose an "integrative sequencing approach" utilizing a 1500 gene exome comparative analysis between multiple myeloma or related plasma cell malignancies and normal cells coupled to capture transcriptome sequencing to provide a nearly comprehensive landscape of the genetic alterations for the purpose of identifying informative and/or actionable mutations in patients with multiple myeloma and plasma cell malignancies. The approach will enable the detection of point mutations, insertions/deletions, gene fusions and rearrangements, amplifications/deletions, and outlier expressed genes among other classes of alterations. A Study of Response Rate and Survival from Combined Chemotherapy, Surgery and Radiation Therapy for Patients with Malignant Mesothelioma Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to follow patients with malignant mesothelioma of the lung after they have had combined chemotherapy, surgery, and intensity modified radiation therapy and determine response rates and overall survival.

The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
